20% improvement with Ultragauge

Hi all,
I was averaging right about combined epa of about 24 mpg before "re-committing to efficiency" a few weeks ago. I started logging my mileage on Jan 30, and I received my Ultragauge on March 9.

Just trying on my own, I increased my normal mpg to about 26.5. My last 2 tanks with UG yielded 29.5 mpg.
The funny thing is, I've never broken 29 mpg on an all highway trip. Now I'm doing this on my normal commute, mostly city.

I figure my return on investment on the UG will be mid to late May.
I really didn't think I could break 28 mpg on my normal commute. I know I'll break 30 soon. My new goal is 35.

Just wanted to share. I'm just giddy.
